Open-ended questions help propel discussions. These are questions that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" and require a more detailed response. They encourage the person to provide their thoughts, opinions, and experiences, which can lead to deeper and more engaging conversations. Unlike close-ended questions, which have specific and often limited answers, open-ended questions promote exploration and encourage participants to think critically and express themselves more fully.
